What happens when you spend a lifetime in media and walk away voluntarily? You hear radio differently and see the media world for it's opportunity and faults.After spending 25 years in broadcast radio, running commercial radio stations (most recently for Cox Media Group), I took a sabbatical in early 2014. While the experience for me and my family was life-changing, I knew this experience would give me the distance I needed to chart a path forward for my career in radio/media. I once heard the expression, "when you're inside the bottle, you can't read the label." This applied to me when I was in radio. When I walked away, I got outside the bottle, read the label and knew the direction to go.My takeaways from this time moving forward: Radio is still meaningful, it's just being programmed poorly (mostly by executives). Spoken word is incredibly powerful and growing daily with the rise of podcasting. If 20-34 year olds spend 82% of every day staring at their smartphone, you better make the radio experience meaningful for them on this device.Finally, if you want to bring radio to Millennials, you have to unlearn everything you've ever learned about radio and execute it completely differently. The Spotify generation wants radio (i've done research on this), but you have to give it to them in ways you're not currently thinking of.Interested in more? Let's connect. Love sharing my findings with cool people willing to think differently about radio.

Director Of Content And ProgrammingSatori Radio Sep 2016 - Jan 2018Radio...I love you but you're bringing me down. You are such an amazing social medium, but you're lost in your way. Streaming services are utilitarian acting as a so-called music discovery platforms...but they can't offer personality and context behind music discovery. But while consumption for music is bigger and faster than ever before, you sit there waiting months before you start playing something you deem as "new". C'mon...you can do better than that.Satori is a hip-hop music platform based in the city that invented hip-hop. Giving a true voice and context to hip-hop music discovery from some of NYC's biggest social influencers. Adventurous enough to take the chances when it comes to playing the big streaming titles as well as music emerging from underground and trenches that make up the five boroughs. Musically targeted to 20-somethings that live in Brooklyn, Bronx, Harlem, The Village and Manhattan, I want to introduce a meaningful radio product to a lifegroup that has no relationship with radio.For all the "haters" of radio, I dare you to listen to Satori. Radio is special. Radio is community. Radio can matter...but you have to get out of the bottle and read the label.

Co-Founder/AdvisorHeilo Apr 2016 - Jul 2016I launched Heilo with two other co-founders in April 2016 to own the audio-based social lane. I currently support our team out of Nashville and Madison, WI advising to help Heilo grow to new audiences and new platforms.Heilo (pronounced "Hello") is a new social media app powered by user voice. Think "Twitter with a Voice" instead of 140 characters, Heilo gives you 60 seconds. The UX feels like Twitter with social sharing (To FB & Twitter) but is centered around user-created audio. More personal than live video and more intimate than Twitter, download Heilo and leave a message for the world! Heilo is a great tool that allows radio and podcast hosts the ability to have a social experience built around the biggest elements of their brand, their voice. Heilo also allows a "behind the curtain" experience for your listeners with their favorite host. This "behind the curtain" experience is also a powerful way for musicians and artist to connect with their fans. When a fan actually hears the lead singer (guitarist, etc...) leave a message, it's far more powerful than video and much more intimate than a tweet or written message.
